At this crucial moment, BBC plans to air a TV documentary to investigate allegations corruption within FIFA. Previously, BBC reported some FIFA officials tried to sell their votes on 2018 World Cup. Even David Cameron, the Prime Minister of GB, is frustrated about this TV programme. He didn’t think it was good to air this TV programme before FIFA decides who will host 2018 World Cup. England 2018 chief executive Andy Anson has publicly accused the BBC of being "unpatriotic" in its scheduling of the programme. Do you think BBC is "unpatriotic"?

The FIFA is in trouble. If FIFA refuses to let England win, somebody will say "FIFA takes revenge on England". If England wins finally, other countries may say "FIFA helps England". Anyway, the result will be known to us tonight. Let's see if England can be the winner.

It is true. England just got 2 votes and was kicked off in the first round. The FIFA obviously was unhappy with England. But I can not understand why FIFA still allowed the three offcials who were involved in the corruption to vote.

After England failed, some people criticized BBC for filming that documentary. But the mayor of London said it was not BBC's fault. As a media, it has the responsibility to report the truth. It is their freedom.
